The IT competency hub

Why do we practice?

We practice because we want to get better. Because, by practicing, we can mess up – and learn from those mistakes. And because, ultimately, we are not just valued at work by the number of qualifications we have, we are valued because of who we are, what we do and how good we are at doing it.

We do not have to purchase or administer the infrastructure for giving students an online virtual environment, nor do we have to
try to create labs. The benefits are significantly reduced costs for us.

I love that these labs use real virtual machines. They’re not simulations. Students can get in there and explore
real OS environments, real network configurations, and real security/troubleshooting tools.

Practice Labs is an excellent tool for my students. We use it for a variety of CompTIA certifications, and students
really like how it functions. All it requires is a web browser and an Internet connection.

We use Practice Labs to give students hands-on experience and practice with problem solving and troubleshooting. There’s
more consistency across classes and much less setup for instructors.

Practice IT

Practice makes perfect

The more you practice, the better your skills are. This proverb has been traced back to the 1550s-1560s, when its form was 'Use makes perfect.' The Latin version is: 'Uses promptos facit.'

So now you know.

Prove IT

Show off your skills

While you might be happy basking in the knowledge that you're an IT supremo, how do you make other people appreciate that? Easy. You can share reports of what you’ve achieved via email – to whoever you want, as many times as you like.
